The problem

A job search sprawls across spreadsheets, inboxes, and sticky notes. Applications go quiet, follow-ups get forgotten, and every resume version lives in a different folder.

Cora (Career Organizer & Reminder Assistant) puts applications, contacts, reminders, and resumes in one place.

How it works

ResumePDF or DOCXClaudetranscribesTemplateseditable textTrackerstatus changesRemindersauto-suggested

Upload a resume and Claude transcribes it into clean, editable text, stored next to the original file. Each application can point to the resume version that was sent.

Status changes automatically suggest the right follow-up: a check-in a week after applying, or a thank-you note the day after an interview. Closing out an application clears reminders that no longer apply.

Row-level security in Supabase scopes every table to the signed-in user, so the database itself refuses to leak anyone else's data.

Design choice: Resumes are stored as plain text rather than forced into a rigid schema. Tailoring a resume is a freeform rewrite, not a fill-in-the-blanks form, and text keeps that flexible.
